SAM JONES COMES HIGH.

A Case yvhere He Wants $500 for Three
Days-Grumbling Among the Faithful.
Cincinnati Times Star.
Mr. Samuel Jones' an evangelist of the Meth
odist Church. has been engaged TO ap pear at the
Loveland camp-meeting this Summer. That is
not particularly sensational matter. for Mr..
Samuel Jones appeared at the Loveand camp
meeting last year. There is something about
the engagement of Mr.. Jones to appear. now
ever, that is the least bit out of the smooth and
ordinary progress of events that is making some
of the good brethren who manage the affairs OF
the camp-meeting think at the rate OF sixty miles
an hour
When Mr. Jones appeared at the camp grounds
last summer he stayed there seven DAYS AS
reward for his goodness in staying he was
given check for 81, 900. The offering was not
wholly voluntary on the part of the manage
ment, for Mr.. Jones made the 81. 600 check
condition for his appearance But he was con-
sidered cheap for the money, and the check
was cheerfully handed over Arrangements
were made this year to have Mr.. Jones como
and stay longer.
It was the universal opinion of all concerned
in getting him here that he ought to stay week
at least, and when sufficiently urged Mr.. Jones
at last consented to prolong the period of relig-
ious enlightenment over that period. This made
the good brethren feel real happy, and they
have been counting M the joy of season with
the great evangelist as one of the principal
delights of the year.
A few weeks ago. however, there began to be
whisperngs that Mr. Jones had found it neces-
sary TO deprive the faithful OF portion of the
pleasures that they had so fondly anticipated.
IL was SAID CndG ne naQ IOu0o 1T necessary TO lop
off a few days of the fourteen which he had
agreed to spend amid the wooded hills of the
camp grounds. The managers were appealed
to. They said that the rumors were correct.
and the joy of the evangelists admirers
turned to grief. There not occasion for
misery absolute. however for he had promised
to come for short time, anyhow, so consolation
was derived from that.
Then it was heard that Mr. Jones had again
cut down his time here, and again and again

Jones demands $500 compensation for those

That is the way the matter stands now-three
